'03 G55 Question

Hey all!, Looking at buying this '03 G55, however, the steering wheel doesn't look like any other steering wheel on an '03 that I've seen. The dash seems different as well. Can you guys review the pictures I've posted and give me some insight on why it would be different?
Thanks in advance!

'03 G55 Question

Doesn't look anything like the 2003 G55. Wheels are different, dash is different, even hoodliner/sunroof area looks different.

Looks like a grey market car, not an AMG. The body kit isn't right. I don't know if AMG ever built anything with the "professional" style interior… Whats under the hood?

It actually looks like a 2000 gclass
Older dash, older steering wheel, mechanical 'drive' shifter

No I didn't , even if you run vin# and it comes up G 5503 that means it's an upgraded to an older model

Probably from Canada or imported privately from Europe. Exterior looks updated ie mirrors, but dash is from as far back as 1994 when I was in Germany. The AMGs I think had alcantera roof lining, this one is regular.....
